Shut the door, not that it lets in the cold
but that it lets out the coziness.
Mark Twain
As we close up this cozy book on the natural magick of hearth and home, I hope that you’ve enjoyed yourself. I am so glad that you decided to spend some time with me. Now that you’ve worked your way through this book of cottage witchery, I’ll bet that you will never look at your home the same way again. As we’ve come to see, magick is everywhere.
It requires heart and determination to create a better life and home for yourself and your loved ones. Take the ideas and spells that were presented here and make them uniquely your own. Get to know the deities of the hearth; start to work with the house faeries. Create your own little hearthstone setup and ask for the blessings of the goddesses Brigid, Vesta, and Hestia. They are waiting for you—call on them and see what you discover.
Take a look at the household journal that is provided in the back of this book. There are even more spells and charms tucked in there for you. This is the perfect opportunity to personalize the various magick that is included in this book. You could easily use this journal space as your own private magickal notebook for hearth and home. Go ahead, list the spices you have in your kitchen cupboard and start plotting how you will incorporate them into homemade enchantments. Experiment and work with the energy of the four elements to improve the quality of your life and the atmosphere of wherever you call home.
Cottage witchery is my way of encouraging you to bring both the beauty and the charm of nature into your home with simple enchantments and down-to-earth magick. Now add all these new witchy skills that you’ve learned to your magickal repertoire every day, in both simple and profound ways. They are sure to bring a natural wonder to your life.
Remember: home is where the heart is, as they say. I have always maintained that the strongest and truest magick does indeed come from the heart.
From my hearth to yours, this homey magick was spun,
Trust in your own power and the charm is begun.
Look inside yourself, for the true magick is there,
All you have to do is to know, to will, and to dare.
